I like the 4/7/8 (inhale/hold/exhale in seconds) = not sure if its “relaxation”, “sleepiness”, or both context-depending

autopilot breathing is pretty cool, its one less thing to think about. A bit difficult to get running once you’re aware its no longer active, though.

You can see your own nose.

Your tongue is sitting behind your teeth in your mouth.

Have fun.

Favourite breathing technique: hyperventilating

What effect does it bestow: anxiety, heart racing, lightheadedness, passing out

Max/max/10, followed by

90%/max/10

80%/max/10, etc.

Point is to inhale slightly less each time, hold as long as you can, then slowly breathe out. Works wonders for helping me fall asleep or just generally relaxed when I’m anxious or not sleepy.

I use Total Concentration Breathing which enhances my physical abilities to supernatural levels and allows me to slay demons.
